Experience description

Are you looking for an interesting new hobby? Why not give calligraphy a go, with this gift experience that sees you take part in a three-hour lesson led by a self-taught professional calligrapher. You’ll be taught the fundamentals of the technique, from the proper way to hold a pen to healthy ergonomics and also practical uses for calligraphy, in a relaxed and enjoyable workshop.

Calligraphy doesn’t only look beautiful, but it’s also a very calming activity, that some have likened to a form of meditation. You’ll be learning the teacher’s own interpretation of Copperplate mixed with elements of Italic, dipping a flexible steel-nibbed pen into acrylic ink and creating your own beautiful lettering. And once the class is done, you’ll also be equipped with a raft of useful supplies to get you going back home, and the offer of some follow-up mentoring too!
